Philosophy with a Hammer

Filed under: General — m759 @ 12:00 pm

"The motive for metaphor, shrinking from
The weight of primary noon,
The A B C of being,

The ruddy temper, the hammer
Of red and blue, the hard sound—
Steel against intimation— the sharp flash,
The vital, arrogant, fatal, dominant X."

— Wallace Stevens,
   "The Motive for Metaphor" (1947)
